Should Companies Have Their Own Coffee Machine

As a coffee addict, I’d say yes. Nothing keeps me going like a cup of coffee. But aside from how it fuels me through the day, looking at it as a single employee working in a company of 20 or so people, I’d say hanging out by the coffee machine sometimes gives me the opportunity to mingle with my co-workers.

Yes, that’s right. It’s more than just the coffee. There’s even a study done which showed that a lot of workers from different companies share the same sentiments as I do. Having a company coffee machine promotes inter-office mingling.

You all go into the lounge and wait for the percolator to finish brewing the coffee. What do you do to pass the time? I try to strike up a conversation with my officemates. I’ve meet people from other departments just by waiting in line for coffee. Isn’t that fun.

And besides, if we didn’t have our own coffee machine at the office, we’d be wasting time going out to the nearest coffee shop just to get our favorite pick-me-upper. It will be less time-consuming if we can just go to the pantry and grab ourselves a cuppa Joe.

That’s my personal opinion on the matter. I’d like to hear yours, though. What do you think? Should every office have their own coffee machine or not?

  • I'd be more than willing to share the price of buying the coffee beans, I'd even offer to be the one that does the coffee buying.
  • I agree. And come to think of it, it will be cheaper compared with getting a cup in Starbucks. Just share the cost of buying coffee beans and viola!
  • I work from home most of the time now, but when I do work out of our office, I noticed how people are always leaving to get more coffee. If we had a coffee machine in the office, I'm sure that it would save a lot of employee hours.
